How can a well-meaning but uncool father have a meaningful conversation with his high school daughter about e-cigarettes?
Teenage electronic cigarette usage has grown by almost 75% from 2016 to 2021, and children who vape are four times more likely to experiment with traditional cigarettes. The American Lung Association (ALA) believes that improving communication between parents and children can help reverse this trend. Today, #DoTheVapeTalk, featuring Dwayne Colbert, is encouraging parents to visit TalkAboutVaping.org for tips and information.

There are many distractions outside, and parents may find it difficult to have meaningful conversations with their children, especially about serious issues. Parents need to be creative, just as we do," said Cece Wedel, the campaign director of the Advertising Council group, to Muse. High school parents have the right to intervene and educate their children on important choices while they are still willing to listen.
There is a common misconception that "good kids" won't vape, but many children do. According to Wedel, pressure is widespread and is the main motivation for children to try vaping, so every child - including athletes, social butterflies, and bookworms - is at risk.
Colbert discussed his anti-e-cigarette stance with 14-year-old Maya Youabian.
In recent years, efforts to combat e-cigarettes have been ongoing. There is concern about how e-cigarettes can disrupt brain activity. The Evelyn Lilly Lutz Foundation, like the #DoTheVapeTalk campaign, is striving to bridge the generational gap. Earlier, the Lutz Foundation found that showing teenagers images of individuals carrying "annoying" devices known as e-cigarettes throughout the day increased their sense of strangeness towards these devices.
